The other day we posed the question to our Facebook fans as to whether they'd be interested in doing some kind of Facebook-styled "Tweet Up." We received a good response to that post, so we will work on planning something where you the readers can come meet us and other readers for a social get-together. We'll probably do it a bar, and will see if we can arrange for discounted prices. More on that later though.
As you have may just seen on our Facebook Page, a close friend of mine is shipping out for Afghanistan today. This will be his 3rd tour of duty to the Middle East, and we ask that you send your prayers up to watch over him and his fellow soldiers.
I also hinted at a story about Marc related to SFCM, but since there wasn't room for it on Facebook, I'm posting it here.
Back in early 2005, I created a group on MySpace by the name of South Florida Country Music Fans in an attempt to meet some new people with similar interests as me. I had just gotten out of a long-term relationship, during which most of my friends had either moved away or lost touch with me. At the time, I never dreamed that I would turn into an actual business for me, but here we are rockin' the local country music scene!
The first person I met from my newly created MySpace Group was a gal named Susan. She quickly became a good friend of mine, and after sharing the positive experience on the Group page, others started coming out to meet us as well. One of those was my aforementioned buddy Marc. He came out to meet us at Round Up after coming across the MySpace Group, and long story short, him and Susan began dating, moved in with me to rent my spare room, and ended up getting married before Marc enlisted in the US Army. They now call Fairbanks, AK home, as that is where Marc is stationed.
Besides asking for well-wishes and prayers for Marc, the point of this story is that we'd like to see as many people as possible come out to the "Facebook-styled Tweet-Up" that we will be planning, as we are already responsible for at least one marriage :)
We will look to make this a monthly or quarterly social event, and will try to spread these events around South Florida (and later all of Florida) so that everyone will have a chance to attend at least one every now and then. The purpose is to make some new friends, talk some country music, and have a good time with people that have similar interests.
We are open to suggestions as to what and where you'd like us to do, so please let us have it!
All things Country Music...stories, reviews, news, giveaways, etc...with a South Florida flavor!
